[QUOTE="scratch, post: 122991, member: 1674"] When I first started working for UPS it was at the Atlanta Hub as a loader on the Midnight Sort. I was hired as a Loader, but was soon working Irregulars with some Full-timers. This was in 1975, we didn't have the Taylor "Irregular Trains" back then. We had to push Hand Carts or "Floats" around that building full of 5 gallon buckets, crates, bumpers, etc., I can still remember those Mack truck leaf springs the Automotive Dept. would ship out to other Centers. We also had an old P400 that was painted yellow that we could drive around the yard to deliver to the far side of the Hub. I remember one winter the windshield was busted out, I can still remember how cold it was. It was great when we finally got the electric trains, you guys have got it easy these days. Back then the weight limit was fifty pounds, except for all the heavy truck and trailer parts UPS shipped.:laugh: [/QUOTE]
